BANGALORE, India — Freescale Semiconductor Inc., said it would start a software development center here as the area becomes a hotbed for software talent and development.

Freescale (Austin, Tx.) already has a VLSI design center in Noida near the Indian capital of New Delhi, where it currently employs 250 and plans to add more staff.

The software center will focus on technologies such as UMTS, EDGE, HSDPA/HSUPA, and UWB among others to come up with leading-edge work, according to a recruitment advertisement placed by the company in a local newspaper.
